Werken mit dem Taschenmesser

The pocket knife has a strong appeal to many people, especially to young people. This book aims to empower parents, educators, and teachers to support children in using the pocket knife and to provide them with a meaningful and safe framework. Illustrated step-by-step instructions present 26 project ideas in various levels of difficulty, clearly and simply explained - ranging from projectiles to simple musical instruments, ships, and windmills, to slingshots and blowguns. All of these can be realized with a simple pocket knife, using a wood saw as the only tool. Of course, the basics such as safety rules, application techniques for the most important tools, and maintenance of the pocket knife are also covered. A pocket knife test that can be conducted with groups of children shows whether the fundamental techniques are mastered.
